Temporary Departure
It was reported that Hardwick would take a three month break from the show to appear in a stage production called, The Awkward Squad set in the North East. Hardwick also confirmed on ITV's daytime program, This Morning that two different exit scenes had been filmed and she did not know which version would be eventually broadcast. "I don't know which one they've used. The director said, 'I'll decide which one is best in the edit'.
Hardwick also expressed her deep concern that she could potentially write herself out of the show, “It’s a risk. I’m going out to do a play, and I might write myself out.”

Famous quotes containing the words temporary and/or departure:
“Good parties create a temporary youthfulness.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“... no other railroad station in the world manages so mysteriously to cloak with compassion the anguish of departure and the dubious ecstasies of return and arrival. Any waiting room in the world is filled with all this, and I have sat in many of them and accepted it, and I know from deliberate acquaintance that the whole human experience is more bearable at the Gare de Lyon in Paris than anywhere else.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
